My family didn't look too hopeful when they saw this. But I have a rule in my house: You don't have to eat it, but you have to try it. Well, we all tried it, and we all ate it. However, I didn't tell them it was tofu. ;0) The only change I made was to use part of a bell pepper instead of a jalapeno because of heartburn issues. Served topped with shredded cheese and mild salsa.

I had no idea that tofu would look, and taste, like eggs! This dish, however, tasted so similar to my "usual" migas recipe. I did use crushed tortilla chips (as I usually do, because I almost always have chips, but dont often have tortillas,mon hand), and added cheese, at the end. Thanks, for this great twist!

This was a nice, quick easy supper that my husband and I enjoyed. I made it with everything but the jalapano, Was a little lacking in flavor, but a great base to work with! Think next time, I'll use some fresh garlic, some more cumin, and maybe some chili powder... Thanks for this idea that I would not have thought of before.
